toddler of grace


deserted in the desert of the dusk
of my youth to stagger and stumble
on the swamp of unemployment
to become trapped in the trap of poverty

but i am now intoxicated with red wine
that divine love demanding a dance
expecting from this toddler of grace
a demeanour of the man who embraced

his death in loin cloth, leaving elegance
his fabric of glory to enemy
to cover shame, the stink in soul
and with cream covering aging wrinkles
